1 Basic Concepts of Graph Algorithms Combinatorics for Computer Science (Units 6 and 7) S. Gill Williamson

2 c S. Gill Williamson 2012

3 Preface From 1970 to 1990 I ran a graduate seminar on algebraic and algorithmic combinatorics in the Department of Mathematics, UCSD. From 1972 to 1990 algorithmic combinatorics became the principal topic. The seminar notes from 1970 to 1985 were combined and published as a book, Combinatorics for Computer Science (CCS), published by Computer Science Press. Each of the units of study from the seminar became a chapter in this book. Here, we isolate a combined Unit 6 and Unit 7, corresponding to Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of CCS, and reconstruct the original very helpful unit specific index associated with these two units. Theorems, figures, etc., are numbered sequentially: DEFINITION 6.10 and EXERCISE 6.29 refer to numbered items 10 and 29 of Unit 6 (or Chapter 6 in CCS). Unit 6 contains basic material at an introductory level. Unit 7 applies Unit 6 to a more advanced topic (planarity testing). These notes focus on the visualization of algorithms through the use of graphical and pictorial methods. This approach is both fun and powerful, preparing you to invent your own algorithms for a wide range of problems. For further references and ongoing research, search the Web, particularly Wikipedia and the mathematics arxiv (arxiv.org). Also available in this series are Basic Concepts of Linear Order (Unit 1), Sorting and Listing (Unit 2 and Unit 3)), and Pólya Counting Theory (Unit 4). Units 6 and 7 are essentially independent of earlier units. The exercises in this material were designed for student presentation in the seminar. In many cases, these presentations were done after we had gone through the entire unit. A good strategy is to read and understand these exercises and return to the ones that interest you after you have read the unit. S. Gill Williamson, iii
